Weird SDL color(map) bug?

It seems SDL windows have a strange colormap bug with an X server in
16-bit mode. When the window gets focus, its colors become slightly
brighter and more red than when it has no focus. As if a colormap
gets installed with slightly higher red values.

This is clearly visible with test/graywin (only in 16-bit mode).

Are you still seeing this? If so, can you report it in SDL bugzilla,
and include information about what X server you're running and what
video hardware you have?
